Re: Hotpoint WMA62 program end fault
ahh ok thanks i will give that try. on the display is has a red lock sign that doesn’t go off until around 40 mins after the machine stops working and i can’t here a pump running in that time. The door won’t release until this symbol disappears so i am assuming its an electronics or sensor issue rather than a faulty door lock…i may well be back lol
Re: Bosch WWF2000 filling constantly and making a grinding n
Well thank you for your saftey concurns and yes i agree with you on that and as i am a qualified electronics engineer i am aware of the risks and took all the necessery saftey precausions. As for the machine i have now replaced the solenoid and the filling stops when it should but what i am now unsure about is the water level. The water fills at the start of the cycle and the deturgent is taken but the water level never becomes visable in the window. Now i realise these machnies are designed to use the minimum amounts or water necessery to wash the clothes but i am also concious that on most machines i have watched the water level usually fills to about half way up the window when washing. The pressure switch obviously works as it completes the cycle but is it possible the switch could have become over sensetive or something. I guess i am looking to get some idea as to how visable the water level should be through a normal 40 degree wash cycle. Cheers

Ok, well the 25 ohms seems ok and the voltage was measured disconnected from the heater so it may not have been during the heating fase as i would have expected 240 volts too. I re-ran the machine with some water in and it heated up ok just took a while (didn’t leave it long enough before and maybe to much water in so temp less). need to source the hot water inlet solenoid now and only other concurn is if the pressure switch is working but worry about that once the solenoid is replaced. Thanks for your help and if you have any samsung mobile phone issues let me know lol.

OK the machine is a WFF2000 and i have checked the solinoid and yes it seems to stick open, if i wack it it slowely closes so i shall replace that…As for the heater i have measured the resistance and the open circuit voltage at it and i get 25 ohms and around 20v so any ideas there, i am guessing the voltage doesn’t sound right to me…..
Re: Bosch WWF2000 filling constantly and making a grinding n
Yer sorry about the wrong name. I will have a look at the solinoid later and see if that is the problem and possible the noise as well. As for the heating element, will it be open circuit then or if its an expected resistance, what should that be if you know. I am assuming the solinoid can be inspected for a blockage and just needs replacing if its the problem.
